New beginner training available for modo

Hi everyone.  Today I released two new training series for modo 401 that is geared toward beginners.

Foundational 3D with modo 401 covers terms and topics that the complete 3D newbie needs to learn and be familiar with as they enter the world of 3D graphics.  The series uses modo 401 while discussing the different 3D terms and topics so that the user can become more familiar with the interface.

The Beginner’s Guide to modo 401 takes the user who has completed Foundational 3D or already has 3D experience with another software package and illustrates tools that make modo unique like action centers, falloffs and the workplane.  We then look at modo’s modeling tools and discuss various ways of modeling different types of objects.  It then finishes with texturing, lighting and rendering a basic product shot.  The aim is to get a new user comfortable with modo’s modeling toolset as quickly as possible while exploring some of modo’s texturing, lighting and rendering capabilities.  It does not cover all of modo’s capabilities like sculpting, hair, animation or other more in depth topics.

Foundational 3D with modo 401 is available for $27.00.  The Beginner’s Guide to modo 401 is available for $35.00.  It is suggested that if you are new to 3D that you purchase the combo deal of both training series for $55.00.  If you have experience with 3D then you may want to just go straight to The Beginner’s Guide to modo 401

Feb. 20th Meeting – Action Centers

For our meeting yesterday we discussed each individual action center in modo.  It’s one of modo’s unique features that sets it apart from other 3D programs.  Along with the default action centers we also briefly explored how you can mix action centers with different axis to get the result your after.  We had a great question & answer time afterwards that even included some non-action center related questions.  Thanks to everyone who was able to attend and let us know if you have any questions.  We’ll do our best to answer them.
